Configuration profiles

The M1KE stores all of its configuration in individual profiles. There are 10 of them and profile #1 is active by factory default settings.

If you change a setting either on the web interface or in the device menu, then the change will be stored automatically in the currently active configuration profile.

When the device boots up, it loads the information from one of the profiles into memory and uses that to configure itself. When you change profiles, it reboots and loads the newly selected profile into memory instead. It also “remembers” which profile you last selected, and if you power the M1KE off entirely, when you turn it back on, it will boot into whatever profile you had last selected.

Note

There is an Advanced mode setting called Always use profile #1 on power on, which is normally turned off. If you turn this setting on, then like it says it will always start with profile #1 when booting up from a full power-off.

Each profile contains things like which Connector (i.e. “REF/XRF” for D-STAR®, “Homebrew/MMDVM” for DMR, etc.) to use and what destination to send calls to (i.e. reflector/repeater for D-STAR®, talkgroup for DMR, etc.).

Profiles also contain Wi-Fi® networks and passwords. There’s an Advanced mode setting called Save to all configuration profiles which is normally turned on. When this is on, then like it says it will store the Wi-Fi® network names and passwords into all profiles when you click on the Save button. This makes it act like there’s only one list of Wi-Fi® networks, but if you turn this setting off you can have different Wi-Fi® networks stored in each configuration profile. This can be useful if you want to use different profiles based on your location - maybe one at home, one when you’re tethered to your phone, one when you’re visiting family, and so forth.

Globally stored settings

  • The owner information (your call sign, DMR ID, NXDN® ID and the amateur radio license validity flag) is stored globally which means that it is the same across all configuration profiles.

  • The Global storage stores custom servers, favorite PTT destinations, call numbers and DTMF sequences.

Switching between profiles

There are multiple methods to switch between configuration profiles:

Note

The device reboots when activating another configuration profile. Follow the steps described at the Welcome screen to initialize a profile which has never been used before.
